IMHO this seems to happen all the time.

For example I attended one of those carreers fairs ealier in the year,
and I spoke to one company who had a position very simillar to what I'd
been doing for nearly 10 years - they even used the same obscure
operating system. They couldn't have found anyone better.

I was told that they wouldn't take me on as I didn't have the paper
qualification (Minesweeper Consultant and Solitare Expert).

On the way out of the building I almost threw myself into the canal.
